    16 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte gender

    16 week old GLW- Pullet or cockerel? I thought roo for sure, (which would mean the second time Murray McMurray has sent us the wrong gender for this particular breed!), but I am getting thrown off because the one we had who turned out to be a roo had MUCH larger legs and and a much more...

    Integrating pullets

    Hi there- I would like to encourage integration of my six 16-week-old pullets with my four 3&4-year-old hens. I have read a lot of threads on here which have been very useful, just looking to describe our specific situation and get some advice. Our setup is a long run with the main coop at one...

    Please help, advice needed regarding base of the tail feather loss!! Rooster has been gone for 2 months.

    Hello! My 5 hens just turned a year old. Four of them have some feather loss near the base of the tail; you can see the under fluff. One of the four actually has a bald patch that is red but not scabby, it looks like there are pin feathers but it has looked that way for several weeks without...

    Insulation question

    We would like to insulate the interior of our pre-fab coop. I was thinking of thin foam board covered with luan to prevent the chickens from eating it. I don't have a lot of space to work with in terms of thickness, so just looking for a thin layer to cover gaps and provide some temp regulation...

They are mostly feathered out, just some down on their heads, with the exception of the cockerel who is slightly behind on feathering. They have been kept in a brooder in our basement with an...

    4 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte, Roo or Hen?

    Hi! We have 6 chicks in the brooder. All were supposed to be hens. They are all different breeds so unfortunately I can't compare that way. The GLW has a redder comb area and a much stubbier tale than the rest. All the rest have consisently longer tails and totally flesh colored comb areas...

    Keeping a rooster with a small backyard flock?

    I know I am getting a little ahead of myself with this post, but I am a planner! We have six chicks in the brooder, they will be four weeks old next Tuesday. They are all different breeds, from Murray McMurray and were supposed to be hens. We have suspicions of our golden laced Wyandotte being...

    SLW chick a lot smaller than the rest, should we worry?

    Hello, we have six baby chicks who will be two weeks old tomorrow. I have raised chicks before, but only once and it was 15 years ago! Anyway, they are all different breeds. The Silver Laced Wyandotte is now much smaller than the others. She always seemed a little more “quiet” right from the...

    UrbanNorthern Resort Coop

    Hi Everyone, My husband and I and our four children live in the Northeast. My husband and I kept chickens many years ago, before we had kids, but it has been a 13 year break! My husband and my dad built an amazing coop for our first flock, but we've long since moved from that house and it stayed...
